A system and method for increasing transmission distance and/or transmission data rates using tedons and an encoding scheme to reduce the number of ones in a data signal is described. For example, the method for increasing transmission distance and transmission data rate of a fiber optical communications link using tedons includes the steps of encoding a data signal to be transmitted using an encoding scheme that reduces a number of ones in the data signal, transmitting the encoded data signal over the fiber optical communications link, receiving the encoded data signal and decoding the encoded data signal.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method for increasing a transmission distance of a fiber optical communications link using tedons, comprising: encoding a signal using an encoding scheme that reduces a number of ones disproportionally relative to a number of zeros in said signal to generate an encoded signal; and transmitting said encoded signal over said fiber optical communications link using said tedons.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said encoding scheme comprises a pulse position modulation.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving said encoded signal; and decoding said encoded signal.
4. A method for increasing a transmission distance of a fiber optical communications link using tedons, comprising: receiving an encoded signal from said fiber optical communications link using said tedons, wherein said encoded signal was encoded by a transmitter using an encoding scheme that reduced a number of ones disproportionally relative to a number of zeros in a signal; and decoding said encoded signal.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said encoding scheme comprises a pulse position modulation.
6. A method for increasing a transmission data rate of a fiber optical communications link using tedons, comprising: encoding a signal using an encoding scheme that reduces a number of ones disproportionally relative to a number of zeros in said signal to generate an encoded signal; and transmitting said encoded signal over said fiber optical communications link using said tedons.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising: receiving said encoded signal; and decoding said encoded signal.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein said encoding scheme comprises a pulse position modulation.
9. A method for increasing a transmission data rate of a fiber optical communications link using tedons, comprising: receiving an encoded signal from said fiber optical communications link using said tedons, wherein said encoded signal was encoded by a transmitter using an encoding scheme that reduced a number of ones disproportionally relative to a number of zeros in a signal; and decoding said encoded signal.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein said encoding scheme comprises a pulse position modulation.
